Newcastle
return to Premier League action on Sunday,
facing the Eagles at Selhurst Park.
It's a 2pm
kick-off live on Sky Sports.
Following a 2-0 home success in January, Eddie Howe's side
go in search of their first PL win double over Palace since the
2013/14 season.
Team: Sven Botman remains out but Lewis Miley, Bruno Guimaraes and Fabian Schar
could all return to the squad.
Joelinton goes into this game on nine PL bookings - if he makes it
ten against Palace he'll land a two game ban, but that doesn't
happen then the threat will be lifted.
Coral rate this game as follows:

CPFC:
Eddie Nketiah isn't expected to be available.
Ahead of our visit, Oliver Glasner's side beat Fiorentina 3-0 in the first leg of their Europa
Conference League quarter-final on Thursday night.
Palace's away form remains better than on home territory; winning
just three of their 15 PL games at Selhurst, drawing seven and
losing the other five.
Their home scoring record of 14 goals is the second-fewest in the
PL, one more than Nottingham Forest.
Referee: Andy Madley - third Magpie posting of the season for
the West Yorkshire official, following the 2-2 home draw with
Chelsea and 2-3 loss to Brentford at Gallowgate.

silverware
for Young Mags
Following on from their recent triumph in the Premier League
International Tournament, Newcastle's U15 side enjoyed further
trophy success over the Easter weekend.
The Toon prospects travelled to the Dutch city of Rotterdam and
lifted the Orange Veins Cup after a penalty shootout victory
over PSG in the final on Monday.
Four 30 minute group stage games on Sunday saw United win twice and
draw twice to finish first in their section and progress to the
following day's semi-finals.
They then recovered a 0-1 half time deficit against Borussia
Monchengladbach to win 3-1, thanks to late efforts from Charlie
Robinson (2) and Daniel Hynd.
That set up a final against PSG that ended 1-1 with Muawiya Ghanem
opening the scoring for the black and whites before the French
youngsters levelled.
Newcastle then won the penalty shootout that followed, with
goalkeeper Lucas Flack making a vital stop.
Premier League:
Fixture
updates
Sunday's defeat on
penalties to Leeds United ended West Ham's interest in this season's
FA Cup at the
quarter-final stage - and has implications for Newcastle's PL
fixtures.
Now that the Hammers no longer have Wembley on their minds, they'll
provide the opposition at St. James' Park when the Magpies play their final home
game of the season.
Along with the other PL fixtures, that has a provisional date of
Sunday May 17th, with
confirmation of that weekend's schedule when the
TV picks appear. They were due yesterday.
No PL games will be played on Saturday May 16th to avoid clashing
with the
FA Cup Final that day. That was also the case last season, when PL
games took place on the Friday, Sunday, Monday and Tuesday of FA Cup
Final weekend*.
* The two Tuesday PL games played were those involving that
weekend's FA Cup finalists.
The remainder of United's season
now looks like this:
Sun 12.04.2026 Crystal Palace (a) 2pm Sky
Sat 18.04.2026 Bournemouth (h) 3pm no TV
Sat 25.04.2026 Arsenal (a) 5.30pm Sky
Following Arsenal's FA Cup exit, the PL advice
regarding fixture changes was updated to say that this game remains
"subject to participation in UEFA competitions."
Should Arsenal win their Champions League Quarter-final tie against
Sporting Lisbon, they'd be in Semi-final first leg action on Tue
28.04.2026 or Wed 29.04.2026. Following Tuesday's first leg in
Portugal, the Gunners lead 1-0 going into the second leg on Wed
15.04.2026.
That PL advice theoretically leaves our Arsenal game subject to
further rescheduling at very short notice - although
how a move could benefit the Gunners is open to question.
No similar advice appeared from the PL regarding a change to the
other game that weekend that could feature a CL Semi-finalist:
Liverpool v Palace at 3pm on Sat 25.04.
Sat 02.05.2026 Brighton (h) 3pm
no TV
Sun 10.05.2026 Nottingham Forest (a) 2pm Sky
Sun 17.05.2026
tbc West Ham (h) 3pm

Confirmed as taking place over the weekend of Sun
17.05.2026, day/ kick-off to be confirmed once TV schedule is
announced. That was due for release on Wednesday 08.04, but failed
to appear.
Sun 24.05.2026 Fulham (a) 4pm
All games kick off at 4pm that day - TV schedule to be announced
after 17.05.2026 fixtures are completed.
Update:
Tripps
away
Newcastle confirm the full back Kieran Trippier's
current contract won't be extended and will expire this summer.
Now 35, Trippier became United's
first senior signing
of the post-Mike Ashley era when making a £12m switch to SJP from Atletico
Madrid in early 2022.
He's made 157 appearances in all competitions, pivotal in lifting
United from a relegation spot into Carabao Cup winners via a pair of
Champions League campaigns.
Trippier quotes:
"The time has come to leave this
amazing club after four-and-a-half years. This is where I have felt
most at home. It's emotional, and I'm really going to miss it.
"I want to say a massive thank
you to the supporters for all the support through the good and the
bad times. You've always supported me, always stood by me.
"To my team mates, it's going to
be emotional. It's been an amazing journey with you guys. I'm going
to miss you all, but to win a trophy with you guys was really,
really special - the best of my career.
"And to the manager, Eddie Howe,
all the coaching staff and the team behind the scenes, a massive
thank you. The gaffer had the trust - twice - to sign me, gave me
the opportunity to represent and captain this great club and most
importantly, we managed to win a trophy.
"I'm going to miss everyone at
the club. Thank you."
Eddie Howe:
"Kieran has been magnificent for us on and off the pitch. From the
moment he walked through the door, he has helped to drive standards
that have changed the club's trajectory.
"His performances on the pitch
have been to the highest level. Building strong partnerships with
the players around him. His outstanding technical ability helped
elevate the team and his strong crossing ability helped create many
goals and chances for his team mates.
"His leadership skills have been
invaluable. In difficult moments his experience has proved calming
and his drive and will to win has inspired the players to keep
pushing forward.
"While we'll be saying goodbye
to Kieran shortly, we also know we have a lot left to play for this
season, and I know a player of Kieran's character will be giving
absolutely everything to end his time here on a high."
Ross Wilson, Newcastle United's
sporting director:
"Kieran should be so proud of the contribution he has made to
Newcastle United's progress over the last four-and-a-half years.
"I've admired Kieran from a
distance for many years, and seeing him up close in recent months
has only reinforced the impact he has as a leader, both in the
dressing room and on the pitch.
"When the time comes, Kieran
will leave with the respect and gratitude of everyone connected with
Newcastle United. We wish him every success in whatever comes next."
U21s:
PL2 update
Although their hopes of a top 16 finish and a place in the playoffs
rely on results elsewhere, Newcastle U21s have a significant part to
play in the race for the PL2 title.
Friday sees them face a Manchester United side at Leigh
Sports Village (now known as the Progress with Unity Stadium) with
the Red Devils level on points with leaders Chelsea at kick-off,
although trailing on goal difference.
Chelsea meanwhile will take on Fulham at Motspur Park - both games
kicking off at 7pm.
There's an added edge to the clash of the two Uniteds, with the Red
Devils now managed by Adam Lawrence - who was Newcastle U21 boss for
a spell earlier in the season.
FAO anyone looking to attend our game at Leigh, admission is by
advance ticket only, available online
here
The U21s then conclude their PL2 campaign by facing Wolves at
Whitley Park on Monday April 13th (7pm).
Update:
Opportunity Knox
Newcastle United have agreed a sponsorship deal with South African
sports drink company KNOX, including training ground naming
rights and training kit sleeve sponsorship.
From July 1st, the three year deal worth £18m in total sees United's
Darsley Park training ground renamed The KNOX.
Meanwhile the club's teams - men, women and academy - will wear
training kit that includes KNOX sleeve branding.
Efforts to secure a main (front of shirt) sponsor for training kit
remain ongoing, while news of a shirt sponsor to replace SELA when
that deal expires this summer is also awaited.
Update:
Toon in the USA
Newcastle have two representatives in
the England U16 squad selected for games in the US state of Florida.
London-born defender Aristide Lesecond Yeutembip* and
midfielder Jayden Kouossu who hails from Milan are both named
in a 23 man party for games against the USA (April 16th), Argentina
(19th) and Mexico (22nd).
* known as Les.

One playoff places.
Fielded at right wing back, he completed 80 minutes at the cost
of a booking.
Tyler Jones (Dunston UTS):
The goalkeeper wasn't involved on
Monday as Dunston won 3-0
at Newton Aycliffe
in the Northern Premier League.
Antonio Cordero (Cadiz)
No pitch time for the on-loan Magpie as Cadiz lost 1-3 at home to Cordoba
in La Liga 2 on Saturday.

in the Scottish Championship.
Travis Hernes (Groningen):

from the bench.
Trevan Sanusi (Lorient):

against Paris FC in Ligue 1.
Odysseas Vlachodimos (Seville):

Oviedo in La Liga.
Update:
Derby abuse:
arrest made
From The Northern Echo, Wednesday:
A man has been arrested
following reports of racist abuse during March's Tyne-Wear derby.
The incident took place during
the match at St James’ Park on March 22.
A 45-year-old man from the
Gateshead area was arrested on Tuesday. He was detained on suspicion
of a racially-aggravated public order offence and has since been
released on bail.
Sunderland defender Lutsharel
Geertruida reported the abuse during the second half of the match,
prompting referee Anthony Taylor to pause the game.
Detective Inspector Phil Guard
of Northumbria Police said: "Racial abuse has absolutely no place in
football or in our communities, and we will not tolerate this type
of behaviour.
"Following proactive policing
enquiries and close partnership working with both clubs and their
supporters, a suspect has been arrested.
"They have since been bailed
with robust conditions while the investigation continues.
"We will continue to work with
clubs, supporters and partner agencies to tackle any form of
criminality at football matches."
Newcastle United released a
statement condemning the reported abuse, stating: "Our stance is
clear – we do not tolerate discrimination of any form.
"We will work with the
authorities to fully investigate and will ensure any individuals are
identified and held accountable."
Sunderland also offered their
support to the player and condemned the incident.
A spokesman said: "We stand with
Lutsharel, who has our complete backing, and we commend him for
displaying bravery and leadership by reporting this incident to the
match officials.

Update:
Record
revenues reported
NUFC's financial results for the year to June 2025 are now available
online here
A pre-tax profit was achieved by
selling St.James' Park to a PIF subsidiary company, although the
land that the stadium sits on remains under the ownership of city
Freemen.
The land on which the STACK development stands adjacent to St.James'
Park was also sold in a similar fashion.
Club notes accompanying the results claim those changes are part of
the process leading towards the decision on whether to rebuild the
stadium or move, and that meeting PSR was not a primary motivation
for the sale.
That is disputed by some media outlets, who assert that failure to
generate funds by some means would have left United vulnerable to
PSR breach and possible sanctions.
Update:
Hopkinson on
Howe etc.
Speaking to the media, club CEO
David Hopkinson said:
On Eddie Howe:
"I don't have a stance on his
future. What I can tell you is that the derby loss hurt.
"We take it seriously. There's
nothing within us that thinks, 'Well, it's just three points and on
we go'. It has resonated.
"I spent a couple of hours in a
one-on-one lunch recently with Eddie and we talked through a
multitude of things, including that.
"Eddie is our manager. I expect
to have a great run to the end of the season here and we will talk
about the future when it's time.
"Right now, we're focused on
this season's competition."
Responding to questions about whether Howe's future would be
decided before next season:
"I would not frame it that way.
We are not looking to make a change at the moment. We are not having
those conversations. We are still in the midst of our season.
"We are focused on the seven matches we have remaining and not
distracting ourselves with speculation about what we may or may not
do in the summer.
"All of us have only got so much bandwidth and we are focused on
finishing this season strongly.”
Barely six weeks ago, Hopkinson said of Howe that:
"I’m really happy with the job he’s doing."
"(His job until the end of the season is)
to maximise the potential of the squad he’s got.
"We haven’t given him a set
target - achieve this, achieve that. He’s a deeply experienced,
total professional, he’s going to go as high as we possibly can.
"He applies the same level of
intention and attention to every match we play. Look, we haven’t
given him a clear target saying ‘deliver this’, he knows what the
ambition is and he knows what the target is.
"Eddie Howe is so important to this club and what he’s done here,
lifting the club’s first trophy in 70 years with the Carabao Cup
last year, is remarkable.
"What he’s doing on the day-to-day, working incredibly hard, has the
support of the club and the ownership."
On transfers:
"I wasn’t here for the (Alexander) Isak situation, but, to
me, Isak was a good sale.
"We haven't got an overall strategy with regard to players out, necessarily.
"We think through what players
might or might not want to do this summer. But if an Isak-like
scenario presents itself again, any player under contract is going
to leave on our terms and we're going to maximise the opportunity
that might represent for the club.
"Going forward, our strategy is
to buy well and sell well. Buying well does not necessarily mean
spending the most money. It means working in the marketplace for the
players that generate the most value for this club rather than the
fee paid for them.
"So there are a multitude of things we need to employ, including developing our own, looking for
opportunities in the marketplace and making sure we are maximising
our opportunity within the available price we can produce."
On possible big-name departures:
"We are not ready to answer that.
"We can make a box office signing but we might not be able to do
that without selling somebody. What I do know is that players that
leave this club will need to do so on our terms.
"Our competitors are formidable and they’ve already got a head start
on us, but all they’ve got is a head start and we’ve got a
tremendous opportunity for growth right in front of us.
"We’ve got to catch these guys.”
PS: questions regarding training ground and stadium plans
weren't answered in any meaningful fashion.
Premier League:
Bournemouth (h)
Saturday week - April 18th - sees the Cherries in Toon, as
Eddie Howe makes another attempt to record a first Premier League
success for the Magpies against his former club.
Although Newcastle have beaten Bournemouth at SJP in both Carabao
Cup and FA Cup ties under Howe, they are winless in all seven home
or away PL meetings to date - drawing five and losing the other two.
It's an old-fashioned, non-televised 3pm
start.
The visitors have taken an allocation of 1,726 tickets.

ST holders have 24
hours to apply, 24 hours to determine success, 48 hours to
buy.
Success is based on the loyalty point total calculated from applications
received. Any applications from ST holders with less points are entered into a
ballot, which will have taken place before tickets go on sale.
Regardless of the loyalty point level a game sells out at, to purchase a
ticket you must have applied in the initial 24 hour window.
The initial purchase window is divided into two sections determined by a loyalty
point division that alters for each game - those successful applicants above
that point division usually get two hours head start.
NB: emails from NUFC confirming success may arrive after the purchase
window opens - if you think you qualify due to your points total, log
on and complete your purchase.
Tickets not bought by successful applicants are offered to applicants with a
reduced loyalty points total. Only those within the new loyalty point total are
then eligible to buy - even if you had more, your purchase window has already
closed.
PL away tickets remain at £30 for the rest of this season, 2026/27 and

9th April |

Born Or Died:
1892 Thomas Lowes born, Walker.
(1910-14)
Inside
forward acquired from Wallsend Park Villa for £25 in September 1910, debuting
in a 1-2 defeat at Preston some 15 months later.
An occasional first team starter, Tommy's most prolific period in black and
white saw him score three goals in as many games during January and February
1912.
He moved on however in June 1914 after managing just three competitive outings
in the previous two seasons, Coventry City paying £50 for his services.
Later transfers took Tommy to Nuneaton Town, Caerphilly Town, Newport County and
Yeovik & Petters United - joining the latter as a player/coach in 1926 and
becoming the manager ahead of the 1928/29 season.
A similar progression saw him coach and then manage Barrow before taking charge
of Walsall between 1937 and 1939.
Following World War 2, Lowes scouted for Arsenal before switching to Norwich
City between 1961 and 1972.
His death was recorded on Tyneside during November 1973. 
1930 Death of Alf Brown, 30.
(1927-28)
Inside left signed from Morton who failed to make a senior
competitive appearance for United due to injury and illness. He sadly took his
own life by drinking poison and was found on Largs beach.
1985 Death of Ernie Taylor, 59. (1942-51)
Born
a mackem but died a Geordie. His back heel set up Jackie Milburn for a famous Wembley
Cup Final goal in 1951. 
1998 Jake Trodd born, Newcastle
(2014-16)
Full back blooded in United's penultimate U18 Premier League
fixture of the 2013/14 season - a 1-2 defeat at Norwich City in April 2014.
Injury problems though meant that Jake's second outing was delayed until a
visit to Wolves in February 2015.
Promoted to the U21 side for a 0-3 defeat by Fulham at
Whitley Park during February 2016, he failed to win an extended contract and
was released that summer.
Trodd later played for Newcastle Benfield, Team Northumbria and Heaton Stannington.

This Monday evening victory at Anfield kept
the hosts top of the league and firmly on course for the Division One title.

month, Newcastle rested five players, R.Rutherford playing what was to be his
only game for the club.

Division One
P33, 40pts, 5th/20
Duncan(46)
Cail(80)

Hibbert(60)

Three more goals for the prolific Joe Smith took
his seasonal tally to 35 and he would go on to bag 38 as the Trotters finished
third in the table.
1921 Meanwhile at SJP, 25,000 fans saw Ashington defeat
Newcastle United "A" to lift the Northumberland Senior Cup.
O'Connell struck in the first half, before a 61st minute Henderson effort

Division One
P38, 40pts, 9th/22
Thompson(24), Mitchell(62)

United visited
Tynecastle on a Tuesday evening to provide the opposition in a testimonial match for Jambo's
centre half John Johnstone.
"For a game of the kind there was an unusual
amount of keenness was displayed", opined The
Scotsman.
Team:
Burns, Maitland, Gillespie, Harris, Wood, McCurley,
Boyd, Chalmers, Urwin, McDonald, Lang.
1930 Bolton Wanderers (a)
1-1 (0-0)
Division One
P36, 30pts, 20th/22
Gallacher(49)
Milsom(1-1)
6,990
A vital point for United as they stayed just above the relegation zone but
victory eluded them - in part due to Hughie Gallacher's spot kick failure soon
after putting his side ahead.
1932 sunderland (h)
1-2 (0-1)
Division One
P36, 38pts, 10th/22
Lang(56)
Yorston(41), Gallacher(89)
45,000
United's progress to the FA Cup Final was adversely affecting their league form, this loss meaning making it just one win from six since the Semi-Final triumph.
Paddy Gallacher's winner was reportedly scored from
an offside position but allowed to stand by Teesside
referee RW Blake.
Roddie MacKenzie placed a 42nd minute spot kick for
the hosts wide, while team mate Albert McInroy was
treated behind the goal for an injury during the
first half - Jack Allen briefly replacing him before
the goalkeeper returned to his position.
1938 Fulham (h)
1-2 (0-1)
Division Two
P35, 33pts, 13th/22
Pearson(69)
Woodward(28), Arnold(75)
12,000
The Cottagers deservedly won on Tyneside for the very first time, beating an
out-of-sorts Magpies side with more ease than the final scoreline suggested.
"Seldom have I seen United look worse"
lamented former Magpie Colin Veitch in the Sunday
Sun.
 1949
Derby County (a)
4-2 (1-2)
Division One
P36, 47pts, 2nd/22
Robledo(29,51), Sibley(60), Harvey(73)
Morris(11), Stamps(44pen)
24,076
United became the first side to do the double over the Rams that season,
thanks to Bobby Mitchell's performance.
Omitted by Scotland for that weekend's game against England, Mitch laid on all
four goals against the side who lost out to Newcastle in the race to sign him
from Third Lanark.
 1955
Sheffield Wednesday (h) 5-0 (2-0)
Division One
P34, 34pts, 15th/22
Hannah(11), White(33), R.Mitchell(53), Davies(69,84)
40,883
A resounding victory could have been by an ever greater margin, had centre
forward Vic Keeble not picked up a first half injury.
The Owls would end the season bottom of the league, having conceded 100 league goals.
1955 There was a further boost for United with news that Frank Brennan
made a successful comeback from injury in a 3-2 reserve victory over the Owls at
Hillsborough.
 1956
Partick Thistle (Scotland) (a)
1-1 (1-1)
Friendly
Milburn(24)
McKenzie(39)

drawn 1-1 with the Jags at SJP a month earlier, United repeated that score on a
Monday night at Firhill
in the short-lived Anglo Scottish Cup competition.
Jackie Milburn saw his tenth minute penalty attempt saved before netting the
opener.
Team: Simpson, Batty, Ferguson, Scoular,
Lackenby, Crowe, White, Milburn, Keeble, Curry, Mitchell.

Robson(3), Hilley(17)
Darling(76)
21,607
24 hours after a 0-0 draw at SJP against Everton, United were in action
again with 10 of that starting XI featuring.
The exception was Ron McGarry, who made way for Willie Penman against Rovers.
 1969
Sheffield Wednesday (h) 3-2 (1-0)
Division One
P35, 36pts, 11th/22
Dyson(45),

Leicester City (h)

Stuart Metcalfe netted a fantastic own goal for the visitors, treating SJP
to a fine exhibition of close control ball juggling before placing a perfect lob
wide of his own keeper.
TV cameras captured the own goal and it appeared on a number of
"cock-up" type compilations. Metcalfe never appeared for the Rovers
first team again.

Following successive defeats in the FA Cup Final, Newcastle made their third
fruitless trek to Wembley in as many years.
Robert Lee became the first Magpie to net at the national stadium since Alan
Gowling in 1976 when heading home Alan Shearer's cross to level the tie at 1-1.
However Gus Poyet provided further pain with his second of the tie, booking
a final place for Gianluca Vialli's side - who would defeat Aston Villa 1-0 to
claim silverware.

Victory at the Riverside left Newcastle tenth and
maintained hopes of either UEFA Cup or Intertoto Cup qualification.
George Boateng put
through his own net from a corner to open the scoring, before Shola Ameobi doubled the advantage.
A belated response from Boateng led to some late nerves but Steve McLaren's side wasted
several set piece situations.

Shay Given lasted
just 25 minutes before limping off again to be replaced by Steve Harper, a
fine double block late on by Solano helping keep the Gunners at bay.
At the other end, James Milner hit the bar but United created little and Glenn

United's ninth straight away loss
- and a fourth in succession at St. Mary's - plunged them a step nearer to
relegation.
Andros Townsend fired home a rare away goal but the game was
already lost thanks to some pitiful defending - and questionable morale in
the dressing room.
Daryl Janmaat was replaced on 40 minutes, claiming to have been injured before Southampton's second goal. He exited the stadium with his
arm in a sling - having punched a dressing room wall.
